LBCGiraffe – The List of Potentials!

The utopia and its offshoot, the dystopia, are genres of literature that explore social and political structures. Utopian fiction is the creation of an ideal world, or utopia, as the setting for a novel. Dystopian fiction is the opposite: creation of a nightmare world, or dystopia.

Many novels combine both, often as a metaphor for the different directions humanity can take in its choices, ending up with one of two possible futures. Both utopias and dystopias are commonly found in science fiction and other speculative fiction genres, and arguably are by definition a type of speculative fiction.

I’m a great one for recommending different genera’s and then failed utterly and totally to come up with any options!

Knowing what I’m like, I’ve complied the following as inspiration for book choices for #GiraffeLBC!
